What if after you beat the 5th/ground type gym leader a strange man approaches the player. The person advises the player to stay away from Team Eclipse. But the player refuses to...telling him that his/her friend jack was captured. Then the weird dude to reveals that he lost a (Pokémon) and had his wife kidnapped be them. After that he tells the player that he felt like a failure and advised his father to take care of his daughter in Rosecove city. So then the player realizes that this person is Tess's father. (Just saying this is not canon. It's just speculation. Also I'm not sure if ground types are the ones for the 5th gym)
